Yes, I am playing on a laptop with a trackball.




Well, I was for several years.

December 2018 I built my first desktop!
i9-9900k and RTX 2080Ti, and I watercooled the whole thing to 2 quad radiators! This thing barely gets to 50°C when benchmarking! Idles around 30-32°C.

I wouldn't really recommend watercooling for your first build as it was all pretty overwhelming, then separating the GPU from the PCB and adding a waterblock was another level of confusing, then assembling it all in the case, removing the radiators because I couldn't get the wires in with the radiators in place, then putting them back in without clipping the wires...

For a case that says it can take 4 radiators, you really have to remove a lot of shrouds, cages, and other parts permanently to get all of the radiators and tubes going correctly. Then you find out that the blocks are directional, but the radiators aren't? That can't be right. So you spend a while researching it to make sure.

Anyway, if you've read this far, you probably want the PC Part Picker list [pcpartpicker.com].
Yes, it is stupidly expensive. Yes, I am aware I could have gotten a better cost per performance ratio. But I wanted the best I could get.
